I have two daughters. Although sometimes they exhibit extremely annoying behaviors and sass the living daylights out of me, at other times their witticisms entertain me greatly.
I thought I'd share.
I might come back here and update occasionally.
I might come back here and update occasionally.
1. When our oldest (who is now 9) was about 3 years old, my husband was driving her to preschool, and she asked him why some of the things she did kept getting her into trouble. He tried to explain different concepts of right and wrong to her, including some discussion of God, Jesus and morality. She then patiently explained to him that "evil Jesus was in [her] heart" and that was why she did it.
2. When our second child was born, big sis was ecstatic! Every morning for months, she would jump up and down in our living room as I brought her sister downstairs for the day, "The baby is coming to town!" She would cry over and over, "The baby is coming to town!"
3. I am a passionate breast-feeder (or I was....). My older daughter had some speech problems, and kept talking about her little baby sister really liking Mommy's nibbles. Yes, she would say this in public!
4. Speaking of breast-feeding, inevitably when my husband would pick up the baby, the baby would decide that she really wanted mommy! She turned to me knowingly and said, "She doesn't like Daddy's hairy nibbles!"
My younger daughter, who just turned 5, keeps us giggling, although she hates it when we don't take her seriously.
5. Again, the God/Jesus conversation.... I woke up one morning recently, with her beside me in bed. She said, "Mommy, how can God walk on water?" I said, "Well, I suppose God can do whatever God wants to do." She shook her head and said, "Well, I don't think God can juggle."
6. She was having many nightmares and having trouble sleeping for several months. One morning, a few days ago, I had to wake her up early to get her sister to school. She looked very crossly at me and said, "I was having a very good dream, and YOU crashed it, Mommy!" (As if it was a party that I clearly wasn't invited to.)
More daughterisms to come . . .
